I Have Always Run As Hard As

In The Week Before A Race, I Try To Stay Away From Germ Areas. I Keep Disinfectant Wipes In My Bag For When I Have To Use A Supermarket Trolley Or Something Like That.

I Used To Say That The Newspapers Were Tomorrow's Fish And Chip Paper, But I Didn't Really Mean It; I Could Still Be Hurt By What They Said. After Athens, I Just Didn't Care.

I Don't Like Going Away From My Children.

You Can Wish As Hard As You Like But All That Really Matters Is The Shape You're In On The Day Of The Race. I've Always Felt These Really Big Races Aren't Necessarily Won By Whoever Is The Fastest. They're Won By The Athlete Who Is The Smartest And In The Best Shape On The Day.

I Am Not Driven By Any Bitterness By What Happened In Athens. I Learnt A Lot Of Lessons From It And Probably Came Through It A Stronger Person In The End. There Have Been A Lot Of Near Misses, And That's Taught Me To Keep Persevering And That There Is A Chance It Can Come Right.
